Wow. I love this picture! If only I could learn how to take picture like this one. I have a passion for photography, but not the opportunity to explore it. I'm impressed. #108954

Vivian,
Thank you for your kind words! My Photographing Children course delves into how to make images like this one --with or without a studio or studio lighting. You might like to take a look at the course outline. Thanks again for your comments!

Shoting kids is harder that a lot of photographer imagine. Kids donĀ“t pay their attention too much time to uninteresting things such as photographers.
In this photo I liked too much the pose, but the kids looks too much posed, they are not 100% confortable. I bet they were much more confident and spontaneaus a few frames after this shot. I liked too much the dog looking directly to the camera and the neutral background, very unusual for kids portrait but very effective. #457666

I think this photo is adorable. The boy is giving us his "camera" smile but it is still very cute. I think photographing children is not only easy but also a lot of fun! That's the way it should be. If they are having fun they are the best subjects in the world to photograph. #457844

What a great photograph! I enjoy taking pictures of children myself in the studio setting and have sometimes found it very challenging. I have better luck in the out doors setting and letting do their "own thing." There are so many courses I want to take and this is definetly one on the top of my list!
